The servant girl who was punished breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Ying's voice was like the sound of heaven, it made people feel at ease, and the savior came all at once.
Concubine Xiao pursed her lips, "Eldest sister, Xiao Jiu should not meet a foreigner privately, if you need anything, please go to grandma."
After Xiao Concubine finished speaking, there was no movement from Xiao Ying's end. She was silent for a while, and then listened carefully to Xu Shi's sobbing.
"Miss Nine, I have already asked the Prime Minister for instructions. I am here for the third brother's affairs, and I hope that Miss Nine will make it easier for me."
Lian Jiming frowned, because Lian Jiye slapped Concubine Xiao in public, ruining her reputation, if this marriage was abandoned, it would surely annoy the Right Prime Minister, after much deliberation, she should stabilize Concubine Xiao first.
Hongluan took the opportunity to howl loudly. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li didn't stop, and beat them loudly.
"Miss Nine, please forgive me, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it next time."
Hong Xiuqi's nose was crooked, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to come forward to argue. These people are too bad, and it's unreasonable to openly tarnish the young lady's reputation!
"Hongxiu!" Xiao Concubine pursed her lips, "Go and open the door."
Hong Xiu stopped in her tracks, feeling a little puzzled, Xiao Concubine repeated it again, Hong Xiu hurriedly went to open the door, Hong Xiu was convinced by what the young lady did now.
Concubine Xiao watched Lian Jiming and Xiao Ying walk in together with a calm expression. Standing in the sun, the handsome man and the dignified woman are a perfect match.
Xiao Ying's eyes were slightly red, and she looked aggrieved, as if she was bullied by Concubine Xiao just now.
Lian Jiming glanced at the servants in the yard, and couldn't help but frowned, no wonder they were blocked from entering, it turned out that they were punishing others privately, which was really tricky and vicious.
The right-hand minister who is also lucky is pampered like a jewel like a treasure. In contrast, Xiao Ying's gentleness and generosity stand out.
Concubine Xiao raised her lips and glanced at Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li, "Why did you stop? Continue to fight."
The two froze for a moment, and looked at Xiao Ying as if asking for help, Xiao Ying smiled and stepped forward to comfort Xiao Concubine.
"Xiao Jiu, what mistakes did they make? Why bother to mobilize the crowd and get angry. Grandma will feel sorry for you. You are Miss Xiangfu, why should you feel sorry for this servant?"
Xiao Ying spoke generously and was very considerate, "I remember that these people are all old people who serve you. If you are punished, it will pass. I will never dare to make you angry again next time."
"Yes, yes, miss, this slave must not dare to commit another crime, please forgive me, miss."
Mrs. Wang kowtowed, both sides of her face were already swollen, and she gasped in pain.
Xiao Ying asked if she looked at Lian Jiming, seeing that there seemed to be displeasure in his eyes, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.
Concubine Xiao pursed her lips, "Elder Sister, everyone is bullying me now, one is burglarizing, the other two went to drink in broad daylight, and my mother has been too loose in housekeeping all these years, so that the house is in chaos. gone."
Miss Xiao didn't care about Lian Jiming's presence and dragged Fan in, Xiao Ying's face froze slightly.
"Xiao Jiu?"
"Eldest sister, this is Linglong Pavilion. Xiaojiu is just dealing with a servant, why bother elder sister so much? Why don't you ask Xiaojiu, but you are being bullied, and instead help to question me?"
Concubine Xiao sneered, the ridiculed Xiao Ying's face became paler and weaker, her body trembled and the tears in her eyes were about to fall.
"Xiao Jiu, Eldest Sister knows it's Fifth Sister's fault, you're holding your breath in your heart, you should be angry."
Xiao Ying's thoughts turned very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she attributed Xiao Concubine to being dissatisfied, and vented her anger at her, which made Xiao Concubine's savagery even more prominent.
Lian Jiming couldn't take it anymore and cleared his throat, "Miss Nine, I came here this time to make an apology for the third brother. The third brother drank too much that day, so I offended you. Miss Jiu forgive me, third brother I already know I made a mistake, and I promise not to do it again.”
Xiao Concubine frowned, "Your Highness, what does the Third Highness have to do with me? That day I spoke clearly to Your Highness, with the testimony of my grandmother and my father, it has nothing to do with marriages between men and women."
Xiao Concubine's determination did not seem to be angry at all, Lian Jiming walked around Xiao Concubine's body with a slightly inquiring look, and pursed his lips tightly!
"Xiao Jiu, since His Highness came to make amends in person, it shows sincerity. Even if you get angry again, you still have to listen to the elder sister's persuasion. It's not good for you if you get stiff, so calm down."
Xiao Ying persuaded in a low voice, not too loud, but just enough for Lian Jiming to hear, Xiao Ying's presence just relieved Lian Jiming's embarrassment.
Sure enough, Lian Jiming looked at Xiao Ying with very gentle eyes, Xiao Ying was overjoyed, but she didn't show it, she still persuaded Xiao Concubine, as if Xiao Concubine was very ignorant.
Even Jiming had a big opinion on Xiao Concubine, but he lost 900,000 taels last time, and now he's acting hypocritical again, so he wanted to strangle her to death to relieve his anger.
Concubine Xiao sneered, "Elder Sister, Xiao Jiu is not a person who does not keep her word. She will never marry the Third Highness in this life. If Eldest Sister wants to marry, Xiao Jiu will report to her father and grandmother."
Xiao Ying blushed, "You!"
Xiao Concubine crossed Lian Jiming, "Your Majesty, you have also seen that I have a bad temper, and the Third Highness married me, and the Three Emperors' Mansion will be in trouble, and the house will not be peaceful. Since Your Highness is for the good of the Third Highness, why bother to marry me?" Are you going to harm the Third Highness? Or don't use your heart?"
As Xiao Concubine spoke, Lian Ji Ming's expression changed, and he glared at Xiao Concubine angrily. This woman really dares to say anything!
Xiao Concubine stood in front of Lian Jiming, and a burst of fragrance wafted into her nostrils, mixed with a soft fragrance, which was really pleasant.
But apart from Xiao Concubine's temperament, in terms of appearance, she is indeed charming, and there is an arrogance hidden between her brows, which makes people have a desire to tame her.
Xiao Concubine smiled, like a flower blooming, and it was the best peony, graceful and luxurious, Lian Jiming was stunned for a moment, flashing a flash of amazement.
Xiao Ying took a glance and just saw it, the fists under the armbands were clenched tightly.
There was a hint of mockery and sneer in Xiao Yu's eyes, Lian Jiye was dazed, and a trace of anger flashed across her face.
"The Third Highness doesn't like Xiao Jiu, and even hates Xiao Jiu. Why should Xiao Jiu never tire of seeing each other if she knows herself? It's like years in an empty house. Besides, Xiao Jiu has always had distinct likes and dislikes, and she never wants to wrong herself. Your Highness, What do you say?"
When Concubine Xiao finished speaking, Lian Jiming was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute, this woman is really bold, she speaks directly and without restraint.
Lian Jiming suddenly felt that Concubine Xiao really didn't want to marry Lian Jiye, it was not out of anger.
"Xiao Jiu..." Xiao Ying wanted to persuade again, and Xiao Concubine began to push people away without any politeness, "Your Highness, the Xiangfu has a nice view, why don't you let the elder sister take you away, Hongxiu, see off the guests, don't bother me seat."
When Xiao Concubine turned around, only a determined back was left behind, without delay.
Xiao Ying was so ashamed that she almost couldn't lift her head from Xiao Yu's sarcasm and ridicule. She wished she could tear Xiao Yu's mouth to pieces. Even if Xiao Ying had this intention at first, she dared not mention it now.
Lian Jiming snorted, "There are still important things to do in this hall, so let's go ahead."
Lian Jiming flicked his sleeves and left, with a gloomy expression, it was the first time that he turned his face down to a woman at such a young age.
Concubine Xiao is too ignorant, and sooner or later she will suffer, and he will not believe it. If there is no right-hand man, he will not be able to get that position!
Concubine Xiao looked at Xiao Ying from the corridor, with a half-smile, Xiao Ying's face turned green and then pale, and she left with her face covered.
Hong Xiu was dumbfounded, and her lady sent the two of them away in the blink of an eye, looking at Xiao Concubine with more and more admiration in her eyes.
This is a pain for the servants below, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Nurse Ruan, you came at a good time. There are a group of slaves here. Xiao Jiu doesn't want any more. Please trouble Ruan Nurse."
Concubine Xiao saw Nanny Ruan stepping into the courtyard, and went up to meet her, her lips were pouting out a little coquettishly, and her eyes were full of anger.
Nanny Ruan was stunned for a moment, "Okay, Miss Nine can do whatever she says. Since I can trust this old slave, I will trust you. Miss Nine, the old lady wants you to come over."
Concubine Xiao nodded, "That's right, I'm going to grandma's place too, so I'll trouble Mommy."
Concubine Xiao had a sweet mouth, and Nanny Ruan, who coaxed her, smiled and nodded repeatedly. Concubine Xiao left with her red sleeves on.
After Madam Ruan figured out the cause and effect, her face darkened slightly, and the anger accumulated over the years made people tremble unconsciously.
"Please come and sell these three people, and the rest will be sold to the Zhuangzi at 50 boards each. If there are relatives, they will be sent away together!"
Ruan Nanny said gloomyly, Hongluan rolled her eyes and passed out, Xiaocui and Xiaowen were also stunned, and couldn't help kowtowing for mercy, Ruan Nanny waved her hand, and soon they were dragged away down.
The three of Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Zhang regretted it more than ever. It would be no good at all if they fell into the hands of Nanny Ruan.
"take away!"
Nanny Ruan dealt with it very quickly, and scolded the maids who made small mistakes, so frightened that the little maids almost burst into tears.
Ruan Nanny shook her head, none of the maids and women in this yard could take care of things, and she didn't know how Fan's arrangements were made.
When the old lady saw Concubine Xiao, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, she smiled and smiled at Concubine Xiao, this smile made Concubine Xiao a little uncomfortable.
"grandmother?"
"Little Jiu, since you don't want to marry the Third Highness, Grandmother has decided to personally choose a marriage for you. In a few days it will be Princess Jinshu's birthday banquet, and there must be many noble ladies and noble sons who will come. "
The old lady has been unable to make decisions because of Concubine Xiao's engagement to her marriage. She regretted it for a long time, but now she finally has a chance.
The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched, she knew she shouldn't have mentioned the banquet yesterday due to the ban.
"Grandmother, Xiaojiu is still young, does grandma want to marry Xiaojiu so much?"
Concubine Xiao pursed her mouth, and the old lady smiled, "What's the matter, it's a big deal for a woman to get married and have children. Grandma loves you, so how can she delay you? Besides, it's not impossible to see you after you get married. You can still come here often Visit grandma, let's settle the marriage first."
Concubine Xiao was about to be dazzled by the old lady, seeing the excited look of the old lady, she was not easy to be shocked, so she said, "Grandmother, no matter who it is, let Xiao Jiu take a look first, it's up to you."
The old lady nodded, "It's natural, it's not good, and even grandma doesn't like it."
"By the way, are you ready for Princess Jinshu's birthday this year?"
Concubine Xiao changed the topic, the old lady nodded, "You don't have to worry about this, just keep your eyes open and look at the young masters."
